Itopride hydrochloride is a prokinetic agent used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as functional dyspepsia and gastroesophageal reflux. It works by enhancing stomach and intestinal motility and relieving symptoms like bloating, nausea, and abdominal discomfort. Itopride acts through dopamine D2 receptor antagonism and acetylcholinesterase inhibition, promoting gastric emptying without affecting gastric acid secretion.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Prokinetic agent: Itopride hydrochloride enhances gastrointestinal motility by stimulating acetylcholine release and inhibiting dopamine D2 receptors, improving gastric emptying and intestinal movement. It is used to treat functional dyspepsia and other gastric motility disorders.
  • Antiemetic: By blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), it helps reduce nausea and vomiting associated with delayed gastric emptying and gastrointestinal disturbances.
  • Functional dyspepsia management: Commonly prescribed to treat non-ulcer dyspepsia (indigestion without a visible lesion), helping relieve symptoms like bloating, early satiety, and postprandial fullness.
  • Adjunct in GERD and chronic gastritis: Used in combination therapy with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers to enhance symptom relief in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and chronic gastritis by improving motility.

2. Food & Healthcare Ingredients

  • Digestive support formulation: In some advanced formulations, Itopride is explored in combination with digestive enzymes or probiotics to offer therapeutic benefits in managing mild functional digestive disorders.
